Introduction

Board: OCR

Most importantly you need to have an interest in the subject, though you do not need to have studied History in Years 10 and 11 to choose the AS or A level course. However, if you have taken History at GCSE you will find that the skills you have learned will form a solid function for Sixth Form work. If you have previously studied History you will be expected to have achieved a B grade or above at GCSE. If you are new to the subject you will be expected to have achieved a B grade or above in GCSE English.
